ONLNE CHATTER >>>
Today's comment comes from Ann Stockdale in response to this week's cover story by Alec Clayton on civil rights icon Ruby Bridges, captured by Norman Rockwell when she was six years old, and in town this weekend at the University of Washington Tacoma.

Stockdale writes,

What a wonderful brave little girl.I love her name. Ruby ( because she is a jewel ) and Bridges ( because she helped build a strong bridge). I never realized the depth of Rockwell's civic spirit. Bravo for both painter and subject.
